HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator's Guide (includes A.05.02)

vPars Flexible Administrative Capability (vPars A.03.03, A.03.04, vPars A.04.02, A.04.03, A.05.01)

Example HP-UX Shell Scenario (vparadmin)

Chapter 11

341

winona1# vparadmin -d winona2

Password:

Virtual partition winona2 is deleted from the Designated-Admin virtual partitions list.

Listing the Virtual Partitions in the Designated-admin Virtual Partition List

We can verify that winona2 has been removed from the designated-admin virtual partition list. This can be

performed from any partition.

winona1# vparadmin -l

---------- Designated-Admin virtual partitions ----------

winona1

Only winona1 is displayed as a designated-admin virtual partition. Since winona2 (and winona3) are not in

the list, they are not designated-admin virtual partitions.

Changing the Flexible Administrative Capability Password

We can change the ﬂexible administrative capability password with the vparadmin -C command. Note that

there is no -C option in the monadmin command, although you will be asked for a new password when you set

the mode from OFF to ON.

The vparadmin -C command can be executed from any virtual partition; you will need to know the old

password to be able to change the password.

winona2# # vparadmin -C

Old password:

New password:

Re-enter new password:

The vPar flexible administrative password successfully changed.

Determining whether Flexible Administrative Capability is ON or OFF

When you are within a Unix shell, the easiest method to determine whether the ﬂexible administrative

capability mode is ON (enabled) is to use the vparadmin command.

When you are not in ﬂexible administrative capability, you will receive the “disabled” message:

# vparadmin

The virtual partition flexible administrative capability is disabled.

When you are in ﬂexible administrative capability, you will receive the “enabled” message:

# vparadmin

The virtual partition flexible administrative capability is enabled.
